Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

It is now unlikely the Big 12 will add UConn unless something unexpected happens. ACC is going to need members, UConn would fit in there nicely
 
If the Pac had a deal like their current deal, none of the 9 would be talking about leaving now. My beliefs.
  • Oregon and Washington want to go to the B1G. They hate the idea of the Big 12. Do they hate it more than the Pac with the Apple deal? That's the question.
  • UA, ASU and Utah want to stay, even though they don't like the deal. However, the fear of the B1G taking Washington and Oregon is so great that they may elect to take the Big XII deal and mitigate that risk.
  • Stanford and Cal are stoned out of their mind somewhere. They are completely at the mercy of what others do and are acting like it. They have some hope they will land on their feet.
  • Oregon State and WSU are like Cal and Stanford, but aren't rich, can't afford good weed so are in a state of mortal terror as they look at being in a glorified MWC making about $10m a year.
It all comes down to Washington and Oregon. If they commit to the Pac, it probably keeps everyone. If the reports of about a half share from the B1G are true, they may just stay.

But the leaks around Arizona/ASU predates that about Oregon/Washington and seems to be moving along faster. That could be simply twitter perception to be sure.

Duh. But you do get 2-3 Kansas/UConn games which is likely equal to BYU/Utah

Not equal. One matchup is national level the other is State focused. Without looking it up, when did BYU/Utah play and who won?
 
Is it good or bad that AD Dave is listening to this twitter spaces?

Oregon and Washington were vetted when USC/UCLA left. Everyone knows that. The McMurphy tweet shows it. They were coming eventually, but the B1G wanted to wait and integrate the LA schools. So the AZ schools know the Pac is doomed, and then they saw the crap TV deal and now it is clear just how doomed it is. Because that is with Washington and Oregon.

So this is the 'coast to coast' basketball conference? Between the 4 schools, there is 1 good football team and 1 good basketball team. It will be spun as a victory, but it would be a pathetic outcome.

You went from 0 schools in Utah to 2 schools in Utah! Crack the O’Douls and get weird!

Its really not likely equal to that. I wish it was, but football rates drastically higher.

I found in 2019, BYU-Utah had an audience of about 1.6 million on ESPN. The top rated basketball game that year was UNC-Duke (also ESPN) which pulled in 2.6 million. People just can't get enough of football.
 
As hopeful as I’ve been, I’m now at the point that barring a miracle I think we’re OUT this round.
 
I love how in all articles on B1G expansion with more PAC-12 teams, its insistent on only if the PAC-12 loses more schools to the Big 12, which is in all likelihood happening and the B1G knows it. The B1G is made out to look like a hero for rescuing these schools, when it was in fact the B1G that ultimately kills off the PAC-12. Such a great PR move!

I have to imagine anyone who follows this stuff knows they're the villains.

What is wrong with some of you? What legitimate piece of reporting or context have we seen that says Utah is def in the B12? This board is a bunch of wounded animals man. Adding Utah would go against everything the commissioner has been saying for months. Not saying it's not possible, but the only reason to think that is happening right now is pure self-created anxiety.

Because at the end of the day, Yormark is at the mercy of the Big 12 schools. He works for them, not the other way around.

He may want UConn, but he's not a dictator (unfortunately)
 
It is possible BYU would try to block Utah for revenge. If Utah doesn't make it to Big 12, they are up the creek. Don't think Big 10 would take them soon. They may find themselves in a situation like UConn if the Pac 12 implodes.
 


Wow everything must happen by the end is this week!! The apple offer to the PAC expires at end of this week.
